Travis Scott delivered a death-defying performance that fans at Coachella will never forget.
The Houston native headlined the second night of the massive music festival on Saturday night, April 12, with an incredible set design that stunned fans watching live in Indio Valley and at home. His set began with a powerful intro performed by two marching bands from Jackson State University and Florida A&M University, who brought his recent hit "4X4" to life. Both bands also helped him perform his 2018 song "Skeletons." Later on, Scott made jaws drop when he literally walked down a wall onstage as he performed "Skyfall."
Scott kept the aerial stunts coming as he continued his eye-popping performance. His backup dancers ascended into the sky and floated upside-down while he performed "Highest In The Room." They remained suspended in mid-air as Scott delivered popular songs like "Upper Echelon" and more.
There were other memorable moments from Scott's wild set at Coachella. He debuted unreleased music that may appear on his upcoming solo album including "Oh Jacques" and another song reportedly called "She Goin Dumb." He also performed another song that may appear on the upcoming Jackboys 2 album. Midway through his performance, he also delivered a mash-up of his UTOPIA track "Modern Jam" and Drake's Nokia." The rare combination of both songs from the "Sick Mode" artists appeared to be inspired by a fan-made mash-up that went viral on social media in February.
Travis Scott gave fans a heads-up about his breathtaking performance hours before he hit the stage. In a post he shared on X, the 33-year-old rapper warned people his set would be "wild" and used lyrics from his verse on Playboi Carti's "Charge Dem Hoes A Fee" to allude to the $12 million he allegedly spent on production for his set.
